First off, we want to wish all you chic cats a Happy Halloween! This is our fav holiday of the year mainly because it’s all about fun, creative costuming and no family drama. Also, landing on a  Saturday this year there’s even more time and reason to cut loose and delve into your character of choice. So have a blast kittens!

Checking into the window this week, you may be asking yourself;  ‘Why are there two dresses of the same material? Are they vintage? What’s going on there?’ To which we answer; ‘just because’, ‘yes’ and ‘it happens’. Although rare, sometimes we do get two identical/very similar dresses in at once. This can happen when the original owner get so geeked out over a print, fabric or look that they buy multiples for future wear. Or, as in this case, the universe just sends them our way individually. Who knows other than coincidences can and do happen. And to boot, they are by two different designers. We wonder who copied who, or did they just happen to buy the same fabric from the same mill around the same time? Were words exchanged? Oh only if these dresses could speak…

Right and left are both from the early 1970’s. The cocktail length is a size 6 and the gown more of a size 8. Centre multi colour beaded chocolate 1960’s mini is a general size small.

We are back in black today kittens! And we are feeling a little edgy this week too, hence the leather jacket on the left. It’s by Burberry and is a size 4-6 (sold). We have balanced it out with a super soft, feminine,  3 tiered silk chiffon skirt in a size 4 Sold. In store, that centre gown has been creating a buzz with our clients. They are swooning over this 1940’s Italian couture taffeta and tulle wonder (in a size 6)sold. She has been accessorized with a 1950’s Cappola e Toppo crystal necklace. Crossing over to the right, we have a 1950’s crossover bust dress in a size 2 (sold). A Sherman jet wreath brooch has been added, adorning the strap.

On the left we have a bead, leather and metal encrusted brocade Oscar jacket. This is truly a piece worth dying for! From 2008, in a size 6-8. Centre feature is a 1970’s silk jersey Donald Brooks gown (size 2) with a 1981 Chanel chicklet sautoir. On the right we have a 1950’s silk twill autumn rose print dress (size 6) paired with a 1970’s Celine crocodile belt. Snappy!

We are absolutely smitten with fall! Every year it seems to woo us more and more. The crisp weather means layers, jackets, boots and our fav; accessories. This window is just a teaser for what’s in store. You can find woolen day dresses, cropped fur jackets, cashmere cardigans, cross body purses and tweed coats all to swaddle yourself in.

This week our lefty lady is sporting a contemporary Mugler wool mini skirt (size 4) with a 1970’s YSL plaid silk blouse (size S). The ensemble is topped with a 1950’s black cashmere & tan mink cardigan (size M). Front and centre ‘Suzy’ has on a 1960’s eyelash wool dress (size 6) paired with a 1950’s cropped embellished wool cardigan Sold(Size S-M). Righty ‘Ruthy’ has on a very chic early 1970’s black wool skirt suit with brown beaver fur trim Sold. The skirt is a size 0 while the jacket is more of a 2-4, paired with an Hermes scarf.

You may have noticed that we took a little break from posting.  This was because we were away in Europe seeing the sights of Paris and Italy. But now we are back, fully recharged and ready to dazzle you with this vermilion hued display. The “piece de resistance” on the left is by none other than the late, great, Arnold Scaasi. This size 0-2 sequin covered 1960’s frock is truly a one-of-a-kind. The original owner was a close friend of Scaasi’s and many of her dresses were custom made for her by the designer himself. Truly a traffic stopper! The centre mannequin features a Chinese Deco, hand embroidered, silk jacket with frog closures. On the right we have a sporty 1960’s wool knit day dress, great for the office in a size 6.
